Présentation
In the shadow of supermarkets, shopping centres and administrative offices lies Le Jardin du Lunch, a Belgian restaurant chain.
When I was a child, my father used to take me there every other Saturday for lunch. At the time, I thought the place was old-fashioned. Expectations were low, the food seemed to rival that of my school canteen, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a day nursery for the elderly. In the face of increasingly complex fast-food offerings and bold, exotic culinary trends, Le Jardin du Lunch persists with simplicity and intrigue.
